Written between 1943 and 1984, the stories inNumbers in the Darkspan the career of one of fiction’s modern masters: from Italo Calvino’s earliest fables, to tales informed by life in World War II–era Italy, to the delightful experimentation that would define his later work. Here are speculative stories on life in the digital age, genre-bending wonders, and “impossible interviews” with the likes of Montezuma and a Neanderthal. Deftly translated by Tim Parks,Numbers in the Darkshows off Calvino’s lifelong gift for subtle humor and shimmering philosophical insight.
“Numbers in the Darkis a glorious grab-bag . . . [with] enough gems from every phase in Calvino’s career to make it feel indispensable.” —Seattle Times
